Why?

“Novikov and Beria have framed you in the debacle in Baku
and the other oil production facilities…”

“But Excellency I had nothing to do with the failures, comrade.
I was the one who fought against stripping our forces and…”

“Quiet KonstantinI
know all this. You are in the right. You did all you could do. I know who is at
fault but someone has to pay and Novikov and Beria are too valuable to
sacrifice, at this time. You are not.”

“I don’t understand Excellency. What are you saying?”

“I’m going to have you arrested on various trumped up
charges in one hour. You can save yourself the torture that surely awaits in
Beria’s favorite chair or you can go back to your room and use that gun at your
side. The fact that I am telling you this in person is testament to your
devotion to the Soviet Union and the communist cause. The fact that I am giving
you this opportunity to take matters into your own hands shows how much
personal admiration I have for you but we must be practical Konstantin.”

“I am speechless Excellency.”

“As well you should be. Now go to your room and contact
your family and then do what you must.”

“Yes Excellency. One question if I may…will my family be
treated well?”

“Yes Konstantin they will have the best and your son will
enter the service academy next year as planned. In time you will be exonerated
and will be named a true hero of the Motherland and Beria and Novikov will
visit the chair meant for you. But for
now you must do what I have told you.”
